Hi Folks, Ran the boat yesterday afternoon chasing largemouth and smallmouth bass with the fly and spin tackle. Spectacular on the water with a warm sun, beautiful leaves, and no wind. Surface temperature of the water was 64 to 65 degrees. Midday is the time to fish right now. We never changed flies or lures yesterday. The day started out a little slow as we picked up a 1.5lb smallmouth and about 2lb. largemouth for the first hour and half of the trip. The smallest fish of the day. For the duration of the trip we slammed some big bass. The bass fishing has been excellent over the last several weeks and I have seen no one on the water except bird hunters. We landed 9 bass with everyone of them weighing weighin in between 2 3/4lbs to almost 5lbs. Both big largemouth and smallmouth. Once again fire tiger was the color. A large Rapala husky jerk worked great and a #6 fire tiger crease fly was deadly for surface action. Really good top water action. The smallmouth were schooled up and we found fish concentrated off rocky areas that abutted deep water. The largemouth were a bit more spread out and located along heavy weed beds. We did miss a number of fish and one really big smallmouth that will haunt me for a bit. Looks like the weather is about to change and I think yesterday might have been it for epic surface fishing. I will be trout fishing for the next few days. We really need rain and it looks like we might get some for the weekend. I have never seenthe Lamoille so low. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
